Before dawn, captain Fei Guoqiang urged everyone to get up. After a simple breakfast, everyone returned to the place where they drove the stakes last night. This time they used long ropes. After the long ropes reached their limit, they would use short ropes.
Climb down layer by layer.
Looking at it from above, a rough estimate shows that it is at least a hundred meters away from reaching the bottom. Wang Peng, who is from the scouts, took the initiative to explore the road ahead. After last night's rest, he seemed to have regained his courage and no longer mentioned his fear of snakes.
thing.
The process of climbing down was surprisingly smooth. At the tenth level, some domestic garbage was found, including the outer packaging of self-heating lunch boxes, the rinds of ham sausages, mineral water bottles, and even human feces.
.
We went all the way to the bottom, and after confirming that it was safe, the people who stayed at the top began to follow. This stepped hillside slopes to the southwest, and there is no road in the direction going back and forth.
The bottom of this hillside is too wet and covered with leeches, mosquitoes and other small insects. The mud on the ground is ankle-deep, making it very difficult to move. I can only walk forward along this muddy and dangerous path, which lasts two miles.
I found some bloody toilet paper in the grass nearby, and several leech corpses wrapped in it.
Seeing this scene, several people became more certain that it was left behind by several missing travel companions. But the road ahead was not very optimistic. The further we walked, the denser the trees beside us, and the branches on both sides formed a natural big umbrella.
, so blocked that no sunlight can be seen.
Several people took out their mobile phones and satellite positioning systems, and were very depressed to find that there was no signal. Li Qingyun analyzed for them, since these travel friends can find the place where they sent the message, it should be a hill. Follow this road.
Walk only until you find a way up.
Everyone agreed with Li Qingyun's conjecture and walked forward with their heads down. In this complicated terrain, Li Qingyun was unable to call Hai Dongqing for help.
It took about five or six hours of walking. This road has deviated far away from the known route. The further it goes to the southwest, the more likely it is that it will be close to another route into the mountain. However, after calculating the location, Li Qingyun was worried about getting close to the Snake Temple.
That place was too evil, and there was always a sense of danger. Li Qingyun didn't want to enter the Snake Temple again.
When the muddy mountain road turned south, the terrain gradually became higher and they finally got rid of the thrilling swamp-like path. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the sky. They could feel that the sun was westward and it was already afternoon.
The team members helped each other to find leeches and bugs on their bodies, burned them with lighters, or applied medicated powder on their bodies. It took a long time to find those disgusting and terrible bugs on their bodies. They also encountered venomous snakes on the road, but Li Qingyun discovered
If it is early, remind people in time and let everyone avoid it early, so that no one will be bitten.
Li Qingyun saw several hills nearby. Although there was no obvious road, he could still climb up if he tried his best to climb up. Calculating the time, if the five missing travelers climbed up a hill after walking here,
Use your mobile phone to call for help and send the most critical distress text message to several nearby hills.
At this time, it was time for the search and rescue team to use their methods. Fei Guoqiang looked at the surrounding environment and said to a team member beside him: "Send a signal bomb to attract the attention of the missing people. See if they can listen.
to the sound we make.”
The team member responded, and soon fired bombs in three directions, chirp, chirp... three times in a row, and a cloud of green smoke exploded in the air.
After sending out the signal flare, everyone held their breath and listened to the surroundings. If there were shouts, their mission would be completed. Unfortunately, after waiting for three minutes, no exciting shouts were heard.
Li Qingyun said: "Maybe it's too far away. The other party can't hear the sound of our flares, and we can't hear the other party's shouts. You let the search and rescue dogs smell the scent, and I asked Hai Dongqing to search on the nearby hills. It's already four o'clock in the afternoon.
If there are too many, we will be delayed for another day if we can't find them. The other party has been in the mountain for nearly four days, and they should have run out of food and water."
Fei Guoqiang was a little more optimistic and said: "This group of people often travels in the wild, and their ability to survive in the wild is better than that of ordinary tourists. This time they went into the mountains and brought a lot of food, and the food packaging tapes left on the road were
You can see it. We can't be in a hurry. If we are in a hurry, we will make mistakes. The more we do at this time, the more we need to be calm."
Li Qingyun doesn't want to compete with him for the leadership of the team, and there is no need to compete with him for this. However, the harsh conditions of the mountain environment are not something ordinary travelers can bear. This search and rescue team, with himself as the guide, has avoided many dangers. Now,
I was still so tired that I wanted to lie down on the mountain road and sleep. My physical and mental strength was severely exhausted.
It may be that the humidity here is too heavy, or the irritating smell of weeds here is too strong. The sense of smell of the search and rescue dogs has been affected, and they can no longer smell the whereabouts of the missing travel companion. I tried all the personal belongings provided by the five family members in succession, but to no avail.
, had to give up tracking by smell.
Everyone was discussing whether to find a place to camp first, rest for the night, and then search for the missing person. Two sea greens circled in the sky for several times, and suddenly they made a strange cry above the highest mountain directly in front of them.
Gurgling, gurgling, this kind of sound is usually the excited sound that sea turtles make instinctively when they encounter prey or targets.
As soon as Li Qingyun heard that there was a door, he saw a sea turtle returning, flying to Li Qingyun's shoulder, pointing with its wings to the hilltop covered with trees where the thing was found. Li Qingyun could not guess what exactly he found through their cries.
.
"I seem to have discovered something unusual, but I can't tell for sure what it is. Even if you climb up that mountain, it will be completely dark. I have never been here, so I don't know if there is a place to camp. I think everyone is exhausted. You guys
First camp at the foot of the mountain, burn every inch of grass in the camping area, make sure not to omit any grass, and finally sprinkle it with anti-insect and anti-snake powder. I'm going to go up the mountain to have a look." Li Qingyun pointed to a flat area suitable for camping and said to everyone.
"What? Are you going up the mountain now? We have been tired all day, do you still have the strength to climb the mountain? Anyway, I can't even walk a step." Wang Peng scratched the bloody scars on his neck and asked in surprise.
Even Fei Guoqiang, who had always disliked Li Qingyun, persuaded him: "Guide Li, this is too dangerous. Who knows what dangers there will be when it gets dark. It's okay for us to have more people. But if you go up the mountain alone, what dangers are there?"
We can't help either."
At this time, Fei Guoqiang really didn't want anything to happen to Li Qingyun, because if something happened to Li Qingyun, they didn't have the courage to go back the way they came, let alone find a new route home.
"Haha, you guys underestimate me too much. I am a local hunter. When I encounter ordinary beasts, I will shoot them one by one without missing a beat. I have killed several wild boars and king cobras. How can I still encounter a tiger?
?" Li Qingyun said easily, not taking everyone's persuasion seriously.
Because he didn't want to waste time here and wanted to find the missing person as soon as possible, he openly left the team and went to see Michelle and his daughter Chloe. Chloe would be one month old in a few days, and he was going to be a father.
I can't live without him.
Seeing Li Qingyun's persistence, everyone stopped trying to persuade him and told him to be careful on the road and to return early if he found clues and not to go too far alone.
Li Qingyun carried his luggage and walked quickly, not taking the mountain roads here seriously. Maybe this place is inaccessible. Some of the medicinal herbs on the hillside are of very good quality, such as aconite, fritillary and so on. There are a lot of them, and occasionally you can see Cordyceps sinensis.
.
Li Qingyun picked ordinary herbs and threw them into a small space. If it was inconvenient to pick, he would give up temporarily. But when he saw Cordyceps sinensis, he couldn't give up. It was also the picking season. He didn't know when he would come next time.
It would be a pity to lose time.
I collected more than ten high-quality Cordyceps cordyceps, and when I started to climb the target hill, I actually found a pure wild ginseng. Judging from the appearance alone, it was about a hundred years old.
Li Qingyun was overjoyed. Although ginseng and other medicinal herbs can be grown in a small space, the chance of seeing pure 100-year-old Sichuan wild ginseng is simply lower than winning the lottery. The funniest thing is that this ginseng grows on the hiking trail.
Next to it, if any local villagers passed by, this ginseng plant would have been dug up long ago.
The route Li Qingyun climbed was a bit steep, and it was estimated that even wild boars would not pass here. He carefully transplanted the century-old ginseng plant, together with the surrounding soil, into a small space. After planting it, he poured some space spring water.
Get back on the road.
With this century-old wild ginseng as a base, ordinary herbs were no longer within his sight, and in order to save time, he was too lazy to pick them again.
Following the hillside, turning a corner, Li Qingyun felt that no one could see him, so he used his true energy to protect his body and sprinted out. When he encountered a stone or ravine blocking the road, he jumped lightly and was four feet away.
Five meters. He put his toes a little on the branch, and with the help of elasticity, he went out more than ten meters. Even if he encountered poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, his body-protecting Qi could not be broken at all, and he was shattered to pieces.
Li Qingyun heard that when one reaches the third level of spiritual cultivation, there is a magic method that can fly for a short period of time. However, this matter is only in legends. When he asked his grandfather, he said that he had never seen it with his own eyes, and what he heard was not true. The third level of martial arts cultivation can be obtained from
The ability to glide a certain distance from high altitudes is not considered flight.
He could only fantasize about this kind of thing, because he thought he was running too slowly. However, if someone from the search and rescue team saw his speed, they would probably think of him as a monster. In the dense jungle, he could run faster than
The ape is fast, so what's there to complain about?
Occasionally when there was a fork in the road, Li Qingyun would jump onto the treetops, observe Hai Dongqing's position, and then adjust his direction. Sometimes he would even climb cliffs in order to take a shortcut.
Half an hour later, Li Qingyun was already standing on a treetop at the top of the mountain. He took out his mobile phone and checked the signal. It seemed to be pretty good. Occasionally there was a signal. He tried to make a call, but none of them succeeded. He moved a little and then
The signal is gone after one bar.
The wind on the top of the mountain was very strong, and the location at the top was not small. It was impossible for Li Qingyun to see the whole place at a glance. When Hai Dongqing saw Li Qingyun, he cheered and began to lower his position, landing on a large rock in a flat area, flapping his wings.
, pointing to the ground, there seems to be something. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
